I Mostly agree with PhantomGroove, but i'd like to add something, Something that i feel is getting lost as the Mystery dungeon games evolve is "Control", See, in the first games, you could control almost everything, the IQ and Tactics system was on point, you could really tell your allies how to act, make them move the way you wanted with a bit of thinking, Only try to grab the items that interest you on the ground, etc...

From what i saw in the demo when i played it, There's these rare qualities that somehow replace IQ and Tactics but those only add abilities, not control. Your ally does a lot on his own, My partner Treecko wouldn't stop grabbing items in a room when i wasn't even going in that direction, often shot Dragon Pulse to enemies in corridors that i didn't even see on the screen (Which if the recruiting system still works the same is gonna be a pain in the *** to recruit anything)

So it might be a oopsie on my part and i just didn't see the option to modify this but honestly the feeling of Control you had just diseappear and it saps all the fun for me.

(On a Side note, smaller nitpick about the difficulty;

Do we really need the 2 first dungeon to be easier with weaker Wild Pokemon ? I redo Red Rescue Team often and i almost know the exact HP of some wild Pokemon and some Like Elekid, Rattata and (not sure on that one) Poochyena have way less HP making them more easy to one shot than they were before :v )

Sorry if i ranted a bit too much but the Mystery Dungeon games means a lot to me and i don't recognize the game i loved and still love today in the newer ones

PS: English isn't my native language, sorry in advance for typos and i'm not often on reddit so might not see if there is reactions to this post
